A glass sphere (n = 1.50) with a radius of 11.0 cm has a tiny air bubble 3.00 cm above its center. The sphere is viewed looking down along the extended radius containing the bubble. What is the apparent depth of the bubble below the surface of the sphere? cm

Step 1
First, we need to find the distance between the center of the sphere and the bubble. This can be done using the Pythagorean theorem: distance = sqrt(radius^2 - height^2) distance = sqrt(11.0^2 - 3.00^2) distance = 10.6 cm Show more…
